X360

Turtle Beach Headphones... Kaboom

They finally arrived. Euros 170 retail, but Monty acquired them for less. 7.1 surround sound (okay, okay I know that the 360 only does 5.1) but they’re the dog’s testes, the nuts, the business... ad infinitum.

Do they improve my performance in game?

Borefield: Bad Company

Costas's picture

I've been playing Battlefield: Bad Company for the past week or so as it has been a game that i really wanted to try last year but missed the boat. Unfortunately, the single player campaign is extremely disappointing.

I can not get used to the controls and specifically the aiming part. It reminds me of the problems i have with FPS games on the PS3 where due to the sensitivity of the analog stick i find myself constantly making minor changes to aim properly. Bungie, Infinity Ward and so many others have shown us that this is not longer an issue on 360 FPS games.

Bricks, treasure and hidden rooms

Monty never got into Lego. Spending hours putting lumps of plastic together just didn’t seem as much fun as getting Action Man and Cindy together behind the Doll’s house. 

But after mucking about on Lego Star Wars 2 and now having lashed the whip Harrison Ford style in Indiana. The man is hooked. The hours spent searching for artefacts, cantinas, power bricks etc. have proved strangely rewarding.

Join 2 Die...

…that’s the ideal title for Valve’s new Left 4 Dead Survival Mode DLC which went live on Tuesday, 21st of April for free. It adds a new survival mode and also unlocks the remaining maps, Dead Air and Death Toll, for Versus play. The size of the DLC is around 110MB.

Life minus 360

Poor Monty. Holed up all week without the 360. Poor, poor Monty. It might be nice to see guests from England, catch up on old times and go out sightseeing. But Monty misses that “Me” time in front of the telly. As each hour passes, so do the opportunities. “What do you guys wanna do today? A visit to Protaras? A quick drive up to the mountains?  Shoot f*ck out of people online all day?”

They never seem to go for the last option. 
Is it rude to tell the four year old guest to stop watching Boomerang and turn away so that you can rack up a few more headshots? Is it ethical to keep telling guests how tired they look so that you can sneak back downstairs 15 minutes later after pretending to turn in for the night?
It doesn’t feel all that wrong...
Temptation to feign illness grows by the day. “I’d love to spend the day walking in Troodos with you, but it’s this in growing toe nail of mine, I’d only slow you down.”
 
All is not well. When a hobby becomes a dependency you see someone different looking back at you in the mirror.

Mirror's Edge

I really wanted to love this game. I really did. When i played the demo for the first time a few weeks ago, i thought it was one of the most exciting and fresh gaming experiences i had in a long time. My vote of confidence had been cast and i bought it on launch and did not wait for the inevitable January/February price drop.
